Lebanese Meatball with Spinach Salad

Middle East Recipe! Lebanese Meatball with Spinach Salad for dinner. Filled with spinach cucumbers with fresh mozzarella and cherry tomatoes to complete a summer meal.

You can make it in advance and warm up the Lebanese Meatball when your ready to eat. The best part about this meal is how good it taste even if it is low in calories.

We usually go to the farmers market on Saturday and we met this wonderful woman that own's Sweets and Spice. She had a variety of spices and she was kinda enough to give me a sample of the Lebanese Spice to make this wonderful dish.

Make your own by adding the following:

• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp coriander
• 1 tsp cumin
• ½ tsp cloves
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• ½ cinnamon
• 1 tsp cardamon
• 1 tsp paprika

I served it up with a spinach and tomato salad with a simple dressing. I usually make a lemon, vinegar and olive oil dressing and just mix it up with salt and pepper.

I added a couple of fresh mozzarella balls and cut them up in small pieces. This meal took me about 20 minutes to make. ENJOY!
